A chance comment by Angela (Elizabeth Taylor) gives George an idea frightful idea of a way out…
Dark and disturbing, this movie isn’t to everyone’s tastes but the excellent acting and a well put together script combine to create a complete narrative around the hopelessly lost George.
Things to look out for: Angela’s story that gives George his terrible idea, Shelley Winter‘s wonderful performance, Raymond Burr‘s forceful prosecutor, the final goodbye letter
